Energy demand in Dubai increased by 6.3 per cent year-on-year in the first half of 2022 driven by sustained economic recovery in the emirate, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) said.

Demand for energy in the first six months reached 23,096 gigawatt hours compared with 21,729 gigawatt hours during the same period last year.

Dewa's capacity reached 14,117 megawatts of electricity and 490 million imperial gallons of desalinated water per day, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
